WASHINGTON – U.S. Congresswoman Candice Miller (MI-10) tonight issued the following statement in response to President Obama’s address to a Joint Session of Congress. Miller said:

“It is unfortunate tonight that the President offered no real details of his plan at the same time he was urging Congress to pass it. As we saw with ObamaCare, the devil is always in the details and no longer will this Congress do what then Speaker Pelosi said during the health care debate when she stated, ‘We have to pass the bill to find out what is in it.’ There could be some areas where we can agree. I would support fundamental, pro-growth tax reform that allows American job creators to compete better across the globe and gives hard pressed American families some relief. I would support any effort to reduce the overwhelming burden of federal government regulation that has stifled job growth since President Obama took office and has placed hundreds of billions of dollars of additional costs on American businesses. I cannot support additional spending that is not paid for or that is paid for by increasing taxes on those who create jobs. I look forward to reviewing this legislation when President Obama sends it up to Capitol Hill and working toward building a stronger economy and new jobs in America.”
